    Delightful area, obviously Beatrix Potter is the big attraction but there are lots of walks nearby, it's a mile to the ferry to get across to Windermere, 2 pubs, both of which do great food, 15 minutes to Lakeside to catch a boat for trips along the lake, similar time scale for Hawkshead, not much further to Newby Bridge, Coniston or Ambleside.

    It is quiet and away from noisy tourists but you need to have a car to go there. There is a car ferry connecting Far Sawrey and Windermere but it may close when the weather is rough. Then you have to drive on quite narrow country roads to get in and out to visit places.

    Location was fine, especially to the ferry to cross Windermere to Bowness but note it is £5 per car each way. Be aware of driving, the lanes can be single track with few passing spaces so short distances can take much much longer than expected. Hawkeshead village well worth a visit for a cuppa and cake, need to pay for parking though. Avoid Hardknott and Wrynose pass at all costs!

    The location was nice and quiet.

    The location was nice and quiet. If choosing to visit one of the lakes for watersports, then Coniston is more pleasant than Bowness-on-Windermere as it’s less crowded and less touristy. The water quality also seemed nicer.

    Far Sawrey is a tucked-away hamlet between Windermere and Esthwaite Water. It's a "gently beautiful place" and you can walk directly from Cuckoo Brow Inn up onto the hills behind. However you really need to get in the car to get to the lake shore. We ate at the Cuckoo Brow Inn - couldn't really think of a reason to go further afield, as the food there is excellent.

    We came here to celebrate milestone birthdays of our family and friends and it was an excellent house to do that in. We also chose it because it was the Hawkshead Christmas market was the same weekend. We had intended to walk into Hawkshead but the weather was awful on the Saturday. It would have also meant having to walk most of the way on the road too. So we drove in and had we had a nice meal at the The Queens Head, before returning to cozy up for the night. On the Sunday, it was easy to get to Ambleside but we could not find any parking spaces there, so drove a bit further on to Grasmere, which is beautiful. However, we were very disappointed with our lunch at Heidi's cafe and would definitely avoid that on our next visit.

    The staff were amazing and really made the stay ultra enjoyable. The food was top class, really high standard and priced in line with the rest of the Lake District despite being arguably the best place we ate during the entire trip. Additionally, it was properly dog friendly, not just a sticker in the window to say they can come in, they made the dogs feel like guests which was perfect for us and our pooch. There's a plethora of non dog friendly hotels and inns, just go to one of those if you don't like dogs, don't moan about it!

    The hotel itself is beautiful, cosy, and full of history. The room was comfortable, with a lovely view. The hotel manager/owner couldn't have been more helpful and friendly - we felt welcome from the moment we stepped through the door. Breakfast was awesome! We opted for a full cooked breakfast, which was delicious & quick to arrive. We will absolutely come back here again.

    The quintessential lakeland getaway, perfect to wake up in and perfect to end the day, excellent food on site, comfortable and colloquial environment with friendly and accommodating staff, very dog friendly for any dog lovers and close to the ferry to Bowness if you want to leave your car parked up and just walk

    Food was very good but for my wife especially the heaped platefuls were too much. After 4 dinners we had exhausted our preferred choices on the menu. We only had continental breakfast so cannot rate the menu, but the Cumbrian platter looked awesome.
